THE STORY

There
is a story about a famous research scientist who had made several
very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by
a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to
be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so
far apart from others?

He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience
with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He
had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator
when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling
its contents all over the kitchen floor" a veritable sea of
milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him,
giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said, Ahmad, what a
great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such
a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would
you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before
we clean it up?

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, You know,
Ahmad, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to
clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how
would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a
mop. Which do you prefer? He chose the sponge and together they
cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, You know, what we have here is a failed experiment
in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.
Lets go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and
see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. The
little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near
the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
What a wonderful lesson!

Moral

This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment
that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead,
he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something
new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.
Even if the experiment doesn't work, we usually learn something
valuable from it.

However lets not make the same mistakes twice,there are so many
new ones.

An
old man was sitting with his 25 year old son in the train. The train
was about to leave the station. All passengers are settling down in
their seat. As the train started, the young man was filled with lots
of joy and curiosity. He was sitting on the window side. He put out
one hand and feeling the passing air, he shouted, "Papa see all
the trees are going behind". the old man smiled and admired his
sons' feelings. Besides the young man was one couple, sitting and
listening to all the conversation between father and son. They were
little awkward with the attitude of the 25 year old behaving like
a small child. Suddenly the young man again shouted, "Papa see
the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with the train". The
couple was watching the young man embarrassingly. Now it started raining
and some of the water drops touched the young man's hand. He was filled
with joy and he closed his eyes. He shouted again," Papa it's
raining, the water is touching me, see papa". The couple couldn't
help themselves and asked the old man. "Why don't you visit the
Doctor and get treatment for your son." The old man said, "Yes,
We are coming from the hospital today...

A
little old couple walked into a restaurant one cold winter's evening.
The old man went upto the cash register, placed his order and paid
for their meal. They then took a table near the back wall and started
taking food of the tray. There was just one burger, one packet of
French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain
burger and cut it in half. He place done half in front of the old
lady. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided then
in 2 piles and neatly placed 1 pile in front of her he took a sip
of the drink and she took a sip. He started to eat while she sat
watching him. A young man seeing this, thought, "That poor
old couple!" So he went over to their table and politely offered
to buy them another meal. They said they were used to sharing everything.
He old lady continued to stare at him while he ate. The young man
noticing the old lady had not eaten a thing came over and begged
them to let him buy another meal. This time it was the old lady's
turn to say no, thank you, the old man began to wipe his face with
a napkin the young man could stand it no longer asked "Ma'am
what's wrong then? If you share everything why aren't you eating?
"I'm waiting for the teeth," she replied.
